Washington DC – A Palestinian man, accused of being a spy for UAE in Turkey and found dead in his cell Sunday, used a UAE passport with a fake name, IGA has learned.

Zaki Yousef Mubark Hasan used the name of Abdulrahman Bin Rashid bin Said, a common Emirati name, on his UAE passport to enter Turkey according to our sources who wish to remain anonymous.

The other alleged spy Samer Sameeh Shabaan used the name Mushari Ez Zeydi, on his UAE passport to enter Turkey.

The source familiar with the investigation told IGA, that the pair traveled to many countries but did not reveal if they entered the United States. An FBI source who asked to remain anonymous told IGA on Monday that the agency was trying to find out whether the pair has entered the United States. IGA has previously learned that the FBI was investigating an alleged UAE spy in West Virginia.

The Turkish government arrested the pair on April 19 on suspicion of spying on Palestinians and other Arab nationals in Turkey for the UAE government, according to Turkish press reports and statements by Turkish government.

The UAE government employs thousands of Palestinians in its security apparatus inside and outside the country. Former PLO strongman Mohamed Dhahlan is reported to lead much of these hired guns, including mercenaries and kill teams in Yemen.

Before moving to the UAE in 2010 and acquiring citizenship in that country Dhahlan led the Palestinian Authority’s National Security Council and spearheaded the establishment of Palestinian militias in Gaza in cooperation with the CIA and the Israeli government.

Washington DC – Nuclear North Korea which launched a successful intercontinental missiles capable of hitting the United States built a secret ballistic missile base in the United Arab Emirates, IGA has learned.

Following months of careful research, IGA investigative team located the missile base in Dubai, sandwiched between Hamdan Sports Complex and the Al Minhad Air Base, hosting the headquarters of Australian Middle East Operations, or Joint Task Force 63.

The last known purchase of North Korean ballistic missile was in 1989 but U.A.E. continued to purchase North Korean arms until 2015 as revealed by IGA report sighting a secret State Department memo recovered from the hacked emails of U.A.E ambassador to Washington Yousef Al Otaiba. The emails were provided by Global Leaks.

The United Arab Emirates is not a party to the Hague Code of Conduct Against Ballistic Missile Proliferation or the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR). There are no known efforts by the U.S. government to pressure the U.A.E. to join MTCR.

The pair urged “all nations to honor their commitments to enforce U.N. Security Council sanctions against North Korea.” They added that the U.S. will lead a religious enforcement of the sanctions on North Korea. There was no mention of any U.S. sanctions of the U.A.E over its decades of military and financial ties with North Korea.

U.A.E. Ambassador to Washington Yousef Al Otaiba did not return emails or phone calls to answer questions on this story.
